Unfairly

About 20 to 40 million years ago, entelodonts—immense, snaggletoothed, pig-like beasts—trotted throughout Eurasia and North America. But despite their 3-foot jaws studded with an alarming number of triangular teeth, these barnyard nightmares apparently had a typically porcine diet.New findings, published recently in the journal Palaeogeography, Palaeoclimatology, Palaeoecology, shed a light on feeding habits of these strange, extinct mammals and some of their closest relatives, revealing clues about the changing world…

The end of any year inevitably brings with it carefully-curated “Best Of” lists, but there’s also plenty of conversations to be had at the opposite end of the spectrum, too. Unfortunately, Ana de Armas found herself dragged into the dogfight over having the worst 2022 of any star in Hollywood, but her bacon may have been saved by Margot Robbie. To be fair, de Armas’ year wasn’t an unmitigated disaster, especially when you consider she didn’t appear in a single movie that enjoyed a wide theatrical release. Erotic thriller…

For action junkies, any movie calling itself The Killer is inevitably going to invite comparisons to John Woo’s all-time classic of the same name, while the basic premise of a retired hitman finding himself drawn back into the life he led behind has unmistakable shades of John Wick. Doing a great deal more than adding a subtitle and an uncooperative 17 year-old girl to the mix in order to distance itself from the aforementioned behemoths, Choi Jae-hoon’s The Killer: A Girl Who Deserves to Die flew so far under the radar…

One of the major problems with Netflix’s all-consuming content strategy is that countless hidden gems end up being buried from almost the second they hit the library, with the platform’s algorithm shifting the focus towards splashy blockbusters and high-profile TV shows at the expense of severely overlooked and widely-acclaimed titles like Cargo. It’s an issue that hasn’t gone away, either, with the creator of what’s statistically proven to be Netflix’s single greatest season of episodic content ever given a non-existent…

via Lionsgate No offense intended to the actor, but the presence of Vinnie Jones playing a major role in a movie is hardly a guarantee of quality. That being said, 2008 horror The Midnight Meat Train is one of the genre’s more neglected hidden gems, and even ranks as the best-reviewed film in the former soccer player’s career that wasn’t directed by Guy Ritchie. Given that he’s now one of the biggest stars in the business that’s racked up countless box office behemoths and nine Academy Award nominations,…

via MGM With literally dozens upon dozens of his literary works currently in various stages of development across film and television, never mind the fact nine feature-length and seven episodic adaptations have been released in the last five years alone, the Stephen King business is booming bigger than it ever has before. As a result, countless page-to-screen translations end up being lost to the sands of time as newer, shinier toys come along, which leads us nicely onto 2007’s 1408. Despite being one of the…

via Orion Pictures Sci-fi and horror are two genres that never go out of fashion, and combining the two of them theoretically doubles the size of the potential audience. Things didn’t quite work out that way for 1996’s The Arrival, which bombed hard at the box office, but the unsung mashup of multiple elements has at least achieved minor cult classic status in the aftermath. It could be set for a new wave of renewed popularity, though, with FlixPatrol revealing the sophomore directorial effort from future…
